Speculation season is not open!

One good thing this season will be that we will not be losing any key players like we have over the past couple of season like Suarez (going into a cl campaign) and Gerrard.

I honestly think rather than filling up number we use budget wisely for 3-4 key signings. My priority would be.
a) a CB
b) a CDM
c) a pacy forward / winger
d) left back

in that particular order two. If budget doesn't allow i can live with millner at lb another season and an academy player providing cover.

But i honestly feel we need top recruits for the above positions and not players with potential.

Honestly don't feel we can ignore the right-back position unless TAA is expected to make it his own next season (which would be risky with a 17/ 18 year old) .

LB
RB
LW
CB
ST

These positions definitely need filling. Don't see the need for a midfielder right now unless someone like Keita becomes available. Too many changes can ruin team chemistry and bonding. Periera, Mendy/ Bertrand, Brandt, Nastasic and Werner will make us competitive on all fronts.
TAA not yet ready to be first choice RB yet, and we need both fullbacks to provide genuine width and I believe Periera and Mendy will give us that (watched both play recently) .

PakRed- I think you're being overly optimistic when you say we can expect no major departures. You never know. How many times have we seen players scream out their undying love and devotion to LFC ( Torres and Suarez, for example) and then they're gone a few months later? And I'd pay attention to Ed002's several hints about both Coutinho and Firmino being transferable.
